Celebrity Bomb Disposal.


The proliferation of Reality TV shows seems to know no bounds.

Such shows reached new depths for me recently when I saw a trailer for a show called 'Celebs go Farming' (or something equally stupid). I could name others but what's the point!

So, I think the time is right to re-float my idea of  'Celebrity Bomb Disposal', which I first proposed back in October 2015.

The idea was this. Minor Celebs would compete against each other to defuse a small bomb, with one Celeb being eliminated (possibly through injury) each week. Week by week the bombs would become bigger, and the defusing more complicated. Audience members would be encouraged to shout "CUT THE RED WIRE", etc, as well as other helpful suggestions.

When down to the final two Celebs, they would then compete against each other for a prize of £100,000 (to be donated to a charity of his/her choice). To win, one of the two would need to successfully defuse the most complicated and most dangerous bomb. As you can imagine, the tension would be nail-biting, and failure to defuse correctly (see above photo) would be met with much hilarity.

I predict HUGE audience figures, and if any TV channel is interested I can nominate several annoying Celebs who I'm sure would love to take part.

I'm in and will subscribe to whatever screens the show. Kaboom!

No doubt you have very creative thinking. If your idea is accepted without a doubt it will come here as well as all reality shows.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm sure that Oz could suggest a few Celebs to participate!

Cro Magnon said...

The difference is that this one would be worth watching.

Sue in Suffolk said...

I'm glad you've copyrighted the title as I'm sure it's coming very soon

Cro Magnon said...

By this time next year, I'll be a millionaire!

JayCee said...

Do we all send you our lists of nominations for Celebs to take part?

Cro Magnon said...

I think I've got enough really, but of course real favourites will be welcome.

Andi's English Attic said...

Making my list will give some amusement today. Thank you. :D

Cro Magnon said...

I keep thinking of good candidates as I walk around. It gives me a chuckle at the same time.

Adrian Ward said...

You are a wise man. The original post would have had the lefty woke brigade frothing at the mouth. I was looking forward to watching.

Cro Magnon said...

I thought better of it... I could envisage heart attacks.

Adrian Ward said...

Spoilsport.

Debby said...

I think it is a well thought out idea, Cro. Making a positive impact in the world, one celebrity at a time.

PS I hear tRUMP likes reality shows....

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Marvellous idea Monsieur Magnon! Please may I propose that the following showbiz "celebrities" are all put near the top of the guest list?
Ant & Dec
Michael Portillo
Piers Morgan
Paul O'Grady
Jacob Rees-Mogg
Meghan Markle
Nigel Farage

The Weaver of Grass said...

As Lockdown has progressed your posts have become more amusing - is there a correlation?

Sue G said...

Brilliant idea Cro, love it!

Cro Magnon said...

Trump would refuse to accept that he hadn't won!

Cro Magnon said...

Not Jacob; surely. He'd have to bring nanny.

Cro Magnon said...

Too much time on my hands.

Cro Magnon said...

Do you know any TV producers, who are looking for an idea?

Yorkshire Pudding said...

"Jacob's been a very naughty boy in parliament hasn't he? Said some very spiteful things! Nanny Edith has to wash his mouth out now with salty water. Be a big boy Jacob! Stop crying. Nanny won't hurt you! Open wide you silly boy!"

Debby said...

Oh, he'd just go all to pieces about it.

Adrian Ward said...

I haven't noticed. He does seem to have the ability to pop lefties back in their box and unlike your heroes doesn't resort to threats of hanging and stabbing.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Try counselling.

Cro Magnon said...

Now, now, boys. I'll have to set Sixtus on you, if you don't behave.

Tim B. Inman said...

Cro! You often make me grin, but this morning I nearly spit coffee across the room. Why didn't I think of this!? Thanks for the great idea - and the smiles.

Cro Magnon said...

If you can find a TV Co that wants the idea; we'll go halves!

Adrian Ward said...

This is not the place Cro. But as he is too frightened to disturb his bubble it's the only place there is. Typical lefty. "Try counselling." The problem is they never say who or where to go. Thick or what.

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

I reckon there would be many Z list ‘ celebrities ‘ who would be willing !!!!! XXXX

Graham Edwards said...

What's Michael Portillo done to upset you? He likes trains after all.

Graham Edwards said...

Sorry, the 'you' was referring to YP. Surely the fact that he was a sort of Tory can't warrant that.

Pipistrello said...

Hahah!

Cro Magnon said...

They'd be queueing-up; it's what makes them tick, tick, tick.

Cro Magnon said...

If we all voted the same way, it would make elections very boring!

Cro Magnon said...

Hahah from here too!
